The Goonies is one of those quintessential 1980s movies. So many in the cast went on to bigger projects after it.
In order to save their home from foreclosure, a group of misfits set out to find a buried treasure in a subterranean cavern. Here they cross the path of Mama Fratelli and her outlaw brood. The kids befriend Fratelli’s hideously deformed (but soft-hearted) son, who comes to their rescue.
The movie was directed by Richard Donner from a story by Steven Spielberg and screenplay by Christopher Columbus. Sean Astin, Josh Brolin and Martha Plimpton (all offspring of Hollywood royalty) starred in the movie. They were joined by Jeff Cohen, Corey Feldman, Kerri Green, Jonathan Ke Quan, John Matuszak and Robert Davi. Joe Pantoliano and Anne Ramsey also turn in memorable performances.
The Goonies starts at 2pm at the Ron Robinson Theater. Admission is $5. Concessions are available for sale.
